The  NDC has denied reports that the European aviation giant, Airbus SE paid bribes to some government officials during the administration of the late Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills and John Mahama.

The Party in a statement signed by former Attorney General and  Minister for Justice Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong argued that media reports on the issue did not capture the true reflection of the approved judgement of the case in the UK.

A news report carried by local and foreign media over the weekend indicated that Airbus has agreed to a settlement with UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) which found a number of irregularities involving agents of the company.

Among other statements, the SFO said Airbus hired and disguised payments to a close relative of a government official in Ghana with no aerospace experience in connection with the sale of military transport planes.

The findings spanned activities between 2009 and 2015, a period when the late Prof.John Evans Atta-Mills and John Mahama were at the helm of affairs in Ghana. But in the statement, the NDC said the reports making rounds are a distortion of the facts of the judgment.
